We actually now count this by decades to make it seem like you can get there faster.

I'm sure you were asking about United, but just incase, at Frontier, right now a newhire can hold Denver right out of class - but that isn't going to last. Denver will undoubtedly become very senior as we transition a large part of our new ULCC operation to multiple bases out east.

Yeah I was talking about UAL. It seems like the base is getting smaller and the people who want it bigger.

The DEN F/O Guppy fleet in considered to be slightly understaffed. Every base and seat across the system in 2014 has had movement (it seems - maybe I'm wrong a little) except for Denver. Denver hasn't been a part of any vacancy bids in all of 2014.

So, if you wish to work for UAL and fly the Guppy and be based in Denver, it's gonna be a long time before a new hire could hold it.

I assume the Guppy is the most Jr aircraft out of Denver?

It is, but the Jr man is a thousand numbers senior to the Jr. man in EWR, LAX and SFO. And that doesn't take into account how many people live in Denver and want to stay here, but commute to anywhere else. Even though the Jr person is down there, once a DEN vacancy bid is posted, you'll need to have a lot of years on property to beat out other pilots who want back here.

I heard that the number of people applying for PI jobs were about 4 times what they needed to fill the jobs. Many of them probably commuting from DEN to somewhere trying to stay at home, even if it means working every day.

with the number of DEN pilots that displaced off the bus and 76T into the 737 fleet, and the additional bus/76T bumps that will come (probably not till after summer - at least on the 76T), there is no need to fill Den slots. The DEN gloom and doom is in full force!
